Today will be one of those days that goes into the history
books as one of those days that just threw the hits and the hits kept coming.

While on my beautiful walk I get a text message for the guy
I’ve been dating saying he doesn’t think we should continue to see each other. A TEXT MESSAGE. From the guy who is “in a relationship”
according to his facebook, but couldn’t tell me to my face. A guy who I was supposed
to introduce to my mom tonight before going away for the weekend. A guy who I’d spent the last couple months
sleeping over Saturday nights and waking up Sunday and going for our walks to
get coffee. Ya know, that guy. A TEXT MESSAGE.Wham.

I haven’t even had my coffee yet and the universe threw a
solid punch to the heart.

Oh but no, we were just warming up.

**Overshare warning** I get home from my walk a little nauseous
and disoriented from what had just happened.So much so I walked past my trusty café (a trusty café that would never
break up with me via text message) and still didn’t get my cup of coffee. In
the course of the morning my monthly visitor shows up 6 days late, on the exact
same day I’m scheduled for my pre-vacation bikini wax. And because my lady
books 6 weeks out and I leave in a week on my Swiss Adventure I can’t
reschedule.So, if you can imagine having
your hair in your bikini region removed from the roots while your uterus, mere inches
below churns in turmoil, for about 30 min is about as comfortable as it
sounds.Thanks universe for aligning oh
so imperfectly on this day.

On these types of days, I’m so grateful for my friends and family.My girlfriends who rally behind me, remind me
of my value and worth, make me laugh, give me bars of real imported milk
chocolate.My guy friends know how
exactly how to empathize and get into the pit of despair with me and hangout,
validating that its ok to be hurt and that it is super shitty.

I’m so grateful for the work I’ve done to more
easily let go, find the silver lining and move on.There is so much goodness on the horizon that
days like these slow me down a little and momentarily, but it’s full speed
ahead to the next great steps.
